ASPEN — Bus fares are going up in the Roaring Fork Valley and some services are being scaled back to cover a $1.6 million budget shortfall.
The Roaring Fork Transit Authority board voted Thursday to raise fares by $1 starting Sept. 7. It will cost $7 to ride the bus from Glenwood Springs to Aspen instead of $6. The trip from Basalt to Aspen will cost $4.
The fare increase is expected to raise $128,060 by the end of the year.
Service cuts will include reducing midday service on the Grand Hogback route between Rifle and Glenwood Springs.
